You've never seen a camp chair like this

They really should partner with a backpack manufacturer. Once this chair is also a frame for a pack, it's a different ball game.

The support piece looks like a shovel, and it SHOULD be one! I could see that being a valuable piece of kit for backcountry skiing and mountaineering especially in snow, because of the shovel.

As a Pacific Islander who is 6’3”, 310lbs and who loves to backpack — I am only met with the option of a floor mat to sit in the backcountry. I truly hope this seat holds (heh) up to what they claim. I’d be extremely grateful.

Nice work! Most people have no concept of how hard it is to take a product from a napkin to production...and then to market. I am stoked for these guys! Awesome that you gave them a chance to demo their product on your channel as well! Thank you.

Cut a hole in the seat, double as a crapper and I'm sold!!

I think the coolest part of this whole chair idea was the fact that they flew all the way out to get Dan’s opinion on it - on a product that’s never been seen before by anyone on the planet. Respect - love it. Creator economy ACTIVATE ;))

He said exactly what I was thinking. It’s a space age Viking chair. I spent 8 years as a scoutmaster and a lot of weekends in an REI ultralight camp chair hiking. This is a game changer.

The ONLY thing that concerns me is that it is so low to the ground. If it sat higher and didn't lean back too much, it would be more ergonomic for older people.😊

Label it as a Swiss Army Seat. Multi-function: Snow shovel or paddle, first aid splint, chair, backpack frame, a shield, a snow sled. A lot of possibilities. The price is steep, especially in this economy. There will have to a focus on a warranty that drives home the selling point for me. Price and weight will be the main factors. I agree with the folks about creating it with more holes and use mesh for comfort and knock the weight down a bit. A backpack tailored to fit it would be a great addition.

It has to be a Lifetime Guarantee no question asked and no receipt required to justify the price.

As a fellow product developer, it’s good to know there are several levels of market value to position yourself in and it’s ok to not have cheapest price! There are millions of affluent people who WANT products that match their anticipated value!

So many backpack “innovations” are simply just tweaks on what’s already available. But this truly is completely different from anything out there. I love how they took the simplicity of an ancient design and made it modern. It’s absolutely brilliant. Although it’s not something I’d be ready to invest in myself (I’m still somewhat young, so a small pad as a seat will suit me fine for now), if they can figure out how to shave some weight off and turn it into a multipurpose item (i.e. a backpack frame as they said, and maybe turn the seat portion into a shovel), I could see this flying off the shelves. It’s been fun watching Dan Durston’s progress over the years as he takes input from his customers. If these guys are as willing to listen to input from everyone around them, it’ll be fun to see what this product will turn into!

The sticker shock is real. If they can get the weight down by even a half pound and make it part of a pack, it's more viable.

As an engineer myself, I think the simpler the better. As long as it gets the job done and it holds up just keep it as simple as humanly possible. I think these guys are on to a really good idea, and if they can find a way to integrate that as a backpack support frame as well then they've got a fantastic product on their hands.

Honeycomb the entire thing and you’ll cut out a ton of weight. The carbon fiber can take it. Sell it in tolerances like 175lbs, 200lbs, 250lbs, 300lbs, etc. Don’t make someone 150lbs carry a chair for someone 300lbs.

He just highlighted Rova, he clicked the drop down menu and then he randomly selected Papyrus. Like a thoughtless child just wandering by a garden yanking leaves along the way.

Once this chair is also the frame of a backpack it will be the greatest chair on earth!

It's a shovel, it's a back-up paddle, it's a backpack frame, buy the bicycle panier version, use as a shield from hail and bear paw claws, prevent grounding from lightning strikes. Gorgeous, just wish I would EVER be able to afford one. I've had one of the cheapest knock-off versions of the other chairs going on 12 years with no issues. Yes you could leave this in your will to your grandkids but.... Also, clip on cup holder, phone holder, easy way to connect to the outside of a pack.

I’m a complete gear snob and the price doesn’t bother me. Many good ideas here in the comments so I would listen to them. Emergency paddle, shovel, backpack frame support, etc… Can’t wait to see how this design evolves!

If i was a backpacker or hiker, i would find every ounce of energy and scapegoating to get this chair. Love the simplistic design with modern touch.
